Snack mania

That's how today has gone. I've been snacking on food ever since I got back from my workout this morning. At least it hasn't been Cheetos, Pringles, Doritos and KC Masterpiece Lays, I've stuck with grapes, jerky, and "smart" popcorn. Since I only swam and ran today I had lots of time to sit in front of the TV and snack. I swear I could easily be sponsored by Frito Lay before I went chip cold turkey. I used to bring home about 6-8 bags of chips when I went grocery shopping. So far so good with the will power as I just skip the chip aisle. Once I finish the Ironman, my treat to myself will be a bag of Doritos as soon as I can stomach food. Just sitting probably in the hotel room afterwards with a bag and TV. I can smell the nacho cheese already...

The weekend has been pretty good workout wise. I rode 4 hours on the trainer while catching up with my DVR shows and barely noticed. I had a great swim on Saturday morning where I worked on some consistency. Today's swim didn't go so well but I was really just messy around with various stroke stuff to find some extra seconds here and there if possible.

I started to clean out my office at work in preparation for the move. I've narrowed it down to 3 apartment high rises in downtown Silver Spring Maryland. There within a mile of where my daughter will live and within 1.5 miles of her school. Plus we're close to downtown where there are shops and stuff. Not that I'll be able to buy anything since the cost of living in the DC area is quite expensive when compared to here.

First thing to clean up at work was my empty soda can collection which had basically taken over my entire bookcase. It ended up being around $20 in cans. It's not like I can use it to retire but it's a decent chunk of change.

I just turned off the Red Sox/Indians game as the Indians are gonna lose after failing to capitalize on 2 runners with 1 out in the top of the 8th.

One thing about doing all these base workouts is it helps relieve all the stress going on right now. I can forget about preparing to move which I absolutely hate. I can ignore during that time the important project I'm hastily trying to finish at work by November 5th. Work had been pretty laid back which is why I figured I could do an Ironman but not now. It's crazy and with this move....all I can say is ugh!
